Whiskey Moonlight

The sky is bruised like a lover’s fight

Stars keep falling but they don’t feel right

I lit a match just to watch it fade

Oh whiskey moonlight

Tell me why

Why you shine but leave me dry

Oh whiskey moonlight

In the sky

You burn slow

You burn high

Shadows stretch like they’ve got no end

A bottle’s empty but it won’t pretend

That the ghosts are gone

They still linger here

I ask the night

I beg the wind

Where do I stop

Where do I begin

Oh whiskey moonlight

Tell me why

Why you shine but leave me dry

Oh whiskey moonlight

In the sky

You burn slow

You burn high

You don’t speak

But you never lie

A lonely truth in that empty sky

I chase you down but you slip away

Whiskey moonlight

Lead me astray
